Rams QB Matthew Stafford exits game with head injury
Matthew Stafford missed the Los Angeles Rams’ Week 10 loss to the division-rival Arizona Cardinals with a concussion.
He returned to action for the last-place team Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. However, said return did not last too long.
The Super Bowl champion exited in the third quarter with an apparent injury. After being checked out in the medical tent, he went to the locker room with the training staff. A bit later, it was noted that Stafford was being evaluated for a concussion.
This can’t be seen as a good thing. Stafford apparently passed through the concussion protocols in time to be cleared for Sunday’s game.
The fact that he had to exit with a head injury mere days after being cleared is going to be cause for alarm. That’s especially true with the Tua Tagovailoa drama from earlier this season forcing the NFL to change its concussion protocols after a ton of pushback.
